Virginia State Police arrested a soldier . . . after they fled in a stolen armored vehicle,

I presume you’re asking why I refer to cops as pigs. I respect cops, but it’s fun to use slang words. Especially one as old as pig for a cop.

I was walking two blocks away from when the tank sped through Boulevard. I didn’t get to see it, but you could definitely hear it. Also there was a really low-flying helicopter with a spot light pointing down, so I definitely figured there was a chase or something.

Captain Miller has some advice: take a standard GI sock and packing as much composition B [or TNT] as possible into [the sock]. You wire up a simple fuse then soak the whole thing in axle grease so it should stick.

I think its time to have a discussion about common sense armored vehicle control.

I was in Germany during one of my enlistments in the Infantry and I remember that an American Soldier stole an M60A1 tank from one of the motor pools and drove around a German town smashing things up and finally went off of a bridge into the Rhine River and I believe the young man drowned because he was buttoned up…

They will run they will run for many hours on the diesel that’s supplied for them because I think there’s two tanks inside of it and they are massive we used to go on convoys and be out all day long on these things. You’re also not going to break the track very easily. You’re also not going to box it in with a car. If…

Hey, if you’re going to quit your job, this is one hell of a way to do it.

That’s not a tank chase...

A high speed chase in a doughnut truck. Can you imagine the video footage of police chasing a doughnut truck?

But really, what was the point? Was he on his way out and that was on his list of shit to do? I would say that’s a pretty badass, almost Bond-villain thing to do, but there’s no weaponry on it. Which just makes it weird - like leading the police on a chase in a hot-air balloon or the Oscarmeyer Weinermobile. That’s…

The most GTA thing ever! How many stars did he get before he got caught?

Yes that is “Minnesota Nice”.

Is that “Minnesota Nice”?

I am a native Minnesotan, raised by Minnesotans, and have made a sort of hobby to study and emulate accents.

I mean, life is complicated but this is a fucking barn burner of an obituary. I’m inclined to think she earned it.

OR she was a narcissist only interested in her own interests at any given time and her kids understood this having had to deal with her. And she moved back because her kids in Cali couldn’t stand her and she thought she could emotionally blackmail the old set of kids into dealing with her. They tried to reconcile,…

That was pretty overtly hostile for Minnesotans

That whole obit is a Minnesota euphemism for “she was a feckless cunt”.

That was pretty overtly hostile for Minnesotans. Typically it would read something like: “Ethel heard that she got pregnant from her brother-in-law and moved to California but don’t you know her kids Gina and Jay didn’t go with her! It’s not our place to judge but something’s not right about that.”
